did anyone lose beloved family members or friends to death while in the org?
if so, how did you feel about it once you came out of the cult and figured out that everything you'd been taught about the new system coming soon, and loved ones being resurrected was a big fat lie you'd been spoonfed?
how did you feel and react to that?.

I find it very hard to deal with. Always expected to see them again. Now, who knows. Will we ever see them again in some form or other? Or is it final?
To many questions not enough answers. Too hard to think about.

i have been having some pretty irrational thoughts lately.. its only been 3 months since we decided it is not the "truth".
but sometimes i think we (my family) would have been better off if we had stayed inactive witnesses.
the strain affects the whole family.. sometimes it feels like my whole world has fallen apart.
Thank you Marilyn, I have sent you an email. BEW

Dear jezebel influence
Thank you for your encouragement. You seem to be having a hard time yourself. Especially with your dreams. I'm sorry. I hope you too get through your anxieties. Many have posted some very encouraging words that we can take to heart. Best wishes to you.

about sex... .
sex is like air.
it's not important.... ...unless you aren't getting any !.
ABOUT SEX...
Sex is like air. It's not important...

ON SHARING A BED WITH SOMEONE...
One good turn gets most of the blankets.
ABOUT WHAT KIDS KNOW...
It is not what a teenager knows that bothers their parents,
...it's how they found out!
ABOUT LIFE...
LIFE is sexually transmitted.
ABOUT FALLING IN LOVE...
Falling in love is awfully simple. Falling out of love is simply awful.
ON BEING AN ADULT...
You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever.
Only adults have difficulty with childproof bottles.
ABOUT A MAN'S INTEREST IN THE G-SPOT & CLITORIS...
If a man is interested in your G-spot to the exclusion of your clitoris...
try being interested in his prostate to the exclusion of his penis!
well in an attempt to question and learn more about the bible as was suggested to me by various people, i attended church with a friend.
afterwards i spoke with the preacher, and asked him about some of the things i had learned from the jw.
he quickly disregarded what i told him and pointed out a few scriptures, i showed him more that backed up what i had been taught.
This thread reminded me of a song which used to put me in a much better state when stupidity got me riled.

Hi TR Thank you for your thoughts
"Religion has no place in my life these days"
I have come to that realisation myself. And those words of Kents struck a big cord with me too.
Hi ((((Ana)))) Thanks, I know you have not had an easy time either.
"I had to find my own set of life rules and become the best person for myself with my own set of values and beliefs. I could not afford to do it any other way."
This is what I am now doing and the road is a tough one. Its as Kent said
When you suddenly LEAVE the cult, there is nobody but you who must take responsibility of your own life. YOU will have to decide what to do and what not to do. YOU will have to answer for your own actions, and you can’t blame anyone else if something goes wrong.
Thank you for you kind words
"I feel your anguish BEW......and I know you are a special lady.....look a little deeper and you may see her too"
My love goes to you too.
Lisa Your encouragement is appreciated too.
"You might find keeping a journal helpful. I'm not much good at writing things down like that, but if you have that gift, use it."
You brought a big smile to my face, thanks. I hate writing things down too. It's definitely not one of my 'gifts', unfortunately. Often wished it was though.
Though I have to admit when I first left the borg 3 months ago, I found that by typing all of my thoughts, angers, and feelings and answers especially to what my mum has said to me over the years to 'encourage' me to stay in the 'truth' it did sort many things out for me.
"You are a wonderful presence here on the board, you and Dave."
Thank you...that made me feel good.
Thank you all
for your encouragement, thoughts and help. I can't express how happy I am to see how much people who I have never seen show me and others such love, tenderness and kindness, in a way that JW's never did. It warms my heart. I truly love you all.

Yes it is helping me greatly.
i hope this helps those who are going through this right now ..... .

Thanks but at the moment I don't think so.
